i've had a go on a TT like Mike's, quite enjoyed that and I guess it's a decision between getting on a

A mate of mine dropped his R1 this morning 
Bit shaken up, but otherwise ok.
Needs some bits though, headlight, clutch lever, LHS & front fairings, etc...

Only issue I've had, and only because it happened to both the TT's I've owned which was strange, is a snapped throttle cable - but then, it is an 8 year old bike, and that could happen to any bike really!!
